The WH has a message,'Get Yours Before It Runs Out !!'.That is their strategy for reElection.

Senate Democratic leaders on Friday said they do not intend to bring a fiscal 2013 budget up for a floor vote.

"We do not need to bring a budget to the floor this year -- it's done, we don't need to do it," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) told reporters on Friday.

Reid and Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) argued that the debt-limit agreement in August directs spending for the next year and said Senate Appropriations Chairman Daniel Inouye (D-HI) has already asked the heads of the subcommittees to write their appropriations bills for fiscal 2013.

Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad (D-ND) has said he would probably mark up a budget resolution for 2013, but Reid recently told the Hill he didn't expect any floor action on a measure produced by the panel.

Republicans have attacked Democrats for failing to bring a budget to the floor. Last week, they marked the 1,000th day since Democrats have passed a budget, accusing the majority of shirking its duty while the deficit soars.

House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI), who is working on his own budget plan, tweeted Friday that Senate Democrats "&#8234;confirm they’ve given up on budgeting. What a disgrace. Reid's refusal to budget is a recipe for crisis.&#8236;"

Ryan has said that Democrats should be embarrassed to claim the debt deal as their blueprint because it "fell far, far short of solving this country’s fiscal problems."

“It’s been more than 1,000 days since Senate Democrats have offered a budget plan to the American people," Jeff Sessions (R-AL), the ranking Republican on the budget committee, said in a statement.“Now, once again, the Senate’s ineffectual Democrat majority balks at the task of leadership.”

Sessions argued Senate Democrats don’t want to spell out a long-term budget plan for fear of public scrutiny.

"[Reid] obviously continues in his belief that it would be politically foolish for his members to go on record in support of any long-term vision," he said. "But by refusing to lay out a budget plan for public examination -- a fact no one can deny -- the Democrat Senate has forfeited the high privilege to lead this chamber"...

Conrad's panel has released an analysis asserting that the deal reached in August to raise the debt ceiling was, for all intents and purposes, a budget.

The Budget Control Act included caps on discretionary spending and examined entitlement programs and revenue, the analysis said.“Republican rhetoric aside, Congress did pass a budget,” the fact sheet said.

"Either they don't know what they did or they are misrepresenting what we all did," Conrad said.

Sessions argued that the spending caps under the debt-limit agreement "crafted behind closed doors and rushed to passage at the 11th hour under threat of panic, do not even approach the definition of the budget process that the law requires."

"They are not in any way or any sense a Senate Democrat budget plan," Sessions said. "There is no argument that can be made that these caps are a long-term vision for this country -- not on taxes, not on entitlements, not on spending, not on debt."

A budget resolution serves as a blueprint for spending and isn't signed by the president; it provides a broad outline for the Appropriations Committee for spending choices. The panel is required to follow the recommendations, although they tend to stick close to the overall discretionary spending figure.

So much for your Annenberg Foundation

The Annenberg Foundation - Terrorist Financers

In 1993 William Ayers, Anne Hallett, and Warren Chapman decided to apply for a grant from the Annenberg Foundation for $49.2 Million to improve and reform Chicago's public schools.

In 1995, the Chicago Annenberg Challenge was awarded the $49.2 millon grant by the Annenberg Foundation.

Who are these scary people that showed such poor judgement that they were willing to fund and work with a known domestic terrorist?

<quoted text>ONE REASON WHY ROMNEY NEVER TALKS ABOUT BAINE CAPITAL IS THAT HE NEVER DID SHIT BESIDES KILL AMERICAN JOBS. SO ABOUT HIS PRIVATE SECTOR EXPERIENCE?LETS TALK ABOUT ALL THE AMERICAN JOBS HE KILLED, JOBS SENT OVER SEAS AND COMPANIES BANKRUPTED ALL IN THE NAME OF PROFIT.

OK, let's talk about Staples, Sports Authority, GS Technologies, just to name a couple. I'm sure you've heard of those, correct? Let's talk about a failing, on the road to bankruptcy, Salt Lake City Olympics that Romney turned around. But, while we're talking about that, let's also talk about how the LARGE chunk of stimulus money went to jobs overseas for "green energy" production. Even Chuck Schumer was in a bind over that one! Let's talk about obama's buddy Jeff Immelt (GE) who closed up his x-ray production facility and sent it to China. Shall we compare notes on sending jobs overseas? Shall we talk about what experience obama has had in successfully running a business? Successfully running ANYTHING? And, running America into the ground doesn't count.

<quoted text>The problem with Ryan v biden in an intellectual debate is that biden is going in unarmed. Should be fun to watch the carnage.Speaking of Mr Clown Shoes, I think something might be up with biden. He sure has been incognito for a while and not out lambasting Romney/Ryan like a good little liberal comrade.

Yea it will be fun to watch Fish.. Ya remember his famous line about HCR?? "This is a big fcking deal"..

<quoted text>I've got a better idea. Why don't we pass the President's Jobs Bill and keep going to create more jobs by leaving more money in the hands of low wage and middle-class taxpayers to stimulate demand which will create more jobs. Put them back to work as soon as possible, and it won't irk you so much that people are unemployed and falling out of the middle-class and sliding into poverty.

Low wage earners pay no federal taxes and in fact receive money from the feds, how do you propose to leave more money in their hands? Give them more free money?

The only jobs Obama has created were new fed hires and the temporary ones in the green energy companies that failed and cost us billions.

<quoted text>Not true! When we elected all those Tea Party Republicans, prior to them sitting down to tea, everybody in support ran around the threads posting about how they would "fix" illegal immigration - just wait and see! In fact, they all talked a good game prior to being elected. Since then? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
